Re: [Marxism] The rotten state of Egypt

["Gary MacLennan" <gary.maclennan1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well we shall see.  But let me acknowledge that Fisk, when he is not writing
on Lebanon, has produced much good material.  But this piece is part of the
dominant discourse of the impossibility of revolution.  Such a discourse of
course suits those who rule us.  It is worth pointing out though that the
rulers themselves do not feel as safe as Fisk thinks they should.  Thus the
Jordan king was forced to sack his head of security and Mubarak placed his
guards on high alert.
No one has ever predicted a revolution and no one knows where "the old mole"
will emerge. But looking at the world failry objectively would give one to
believe, surely, that some rupture in the status quo is coming.

regards

Gary
